Question:

my smoke detector went off and now I feel awful?

Last night about midnight, my smoke detector just started beeping. The first time it beeped for five or six times and then every so often, it would beep once. This morining it did it again. And today I feel like crap.I woke up feeling like I had a hangover, but I wasn't drinking. Horrible headache, mental confusion, eyes burning/stinging, nauseated, dizzy and my skin feels the way it feels when I have the flu, achy and hurts to be touched. Can a doctor rule some fears out? I'm hoping I'm just dehydrated, but I don't know.Help?

Answer:

overheat..better change it
yeah, prolly caused by the over heating of the fuse and when you hit that bump it shook it just right and it blew. make sure the fuse amps are equal to 10% of the rms watts of the amp.
Two reasons. The 60 amp that you were using is a glass fuse right? They are prone to blowing when jarred. The filament inside is sensitive to vibrations the lower in amperage you go. That is why it is best to always use other types of fuses. For example, ANL or MIDI fuses. Replace your current one with one of these will take you about 2 minutes. The other reason is that something in your car has shifted. The movement could have caused the electrical current to ground out, more than likely somewhere near your amp. Make sure your amp and sub box are securely fastened so that they do not slide around.
